on top of that the united states has never had that much influence in syria. we barely started talking to them again, only a few years ago. so we've looked to other countries to guide us to some sort of international coalition. the latest idea coming from the obama administration now is to sort of try to pressure the russian government, which has been standing in the way of any real pressure on the assad government, to look for a way to orchestrate some sort of political transition in syria that would ease out assad in a negotiated kind of settlement, ease him out. remnants of the regime would stay in place, but he would end up leaving. this is modeled after what you just saw happen in yemen, with the president there leaving. the administration has broached assad about it. that's what they're looking at right now. >> how long can assad hang on? seems like he's sort of entrenched here in power and without any real outside pressure, it could be a while, right? >> it could be. i mean, so much of this for once really hinges on russia, because russia is -- syria ha
